Well, it’s totally obvious why this home has made our collection – just look at the stunning views of the Grand Canal from this apartment’s private terrace. It’s the perfect spot for sunset drinks, for sure. There are vistas to enjoy from inside as well, from the large windows in the open-plan living space. If you can tear yourself away from the panorama, this place is in the heart of the city, so it’s close to all the main attractions, too.

From the moment you arrive at this decadent palazzo, perched in one of the finest locations in the city along the Grand Canal, you feel like Venetian royalty. Taking you back to the era of masquerade balls, the baroque-style living room has nothing to hide behind, with bespoke furnishings, ornate rugs, and a dazzling crystal chandelier – to stay here is to move into a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. The sunshine peeks in through stunning Murano glass encased in gothic archway windows, bathing the living space in natural light. Each room is filled with magnificent features – think fresco ceilings, regal portraits and opulent touches. We particularly love the communal courtyard that shows off the Venician architecture with endless charm. Since Piazza San Marco is only an eighteen-minute walk away, you’re surrounded by the delights of Venice. Visit the historic St. Mark’s Basilica, amble around the Palazzo Ducale, climb the Campanile bell tower, or take a glamorous gondola ride through the entire city – all reachable in less than a twenty minute's walk. Retreat to your eloquent palace, relaxing on the sun-dappled balcony, sipping a spritz Veneziano as the vaporettos cruise down the canal.

Who wouldn't want to stay in a 13th-century palace overlooking the iconic Grand Canal, pulling up to the front door in a private water taxi? You'll feel history underfoot in the second bedroom, where a glass panel on the floor reveals a medieval well. We don't think you'll mind this home's topsy-turvy layout, where elegant living areas await upstairs under beamed ceilings. See how the San Polo sestiere puts the Rialto Market, plus charming bars and restaurants, within easy reach.

Jewel on the Grand Canal

Balcony

Boasting all the splendour and elegance you'd expect from a historic Venetian home, this apartment is tailor-made for spending blissful breaks in between busy days exploring this vibrant and memorable city.

Pets Allowed

Situated in the San Polo district, this apartment is just a three-minute stroll from the iconic Rialto Bridge. You'll also find the Rialto Market here, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute walk away. Need a break after all that sightseeing? There's a private terrace back home for enjoying a glass of Prosecco after a busy day. Inside, the kitchen is on the small side – there's no oven, but there's a hob and microwave. Also, at full capacity, two people will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. All in all, though, this is a decent base for exploring Venice.

Venetian Flower

Find this chic apartment in the heart of Venice, just steps away from Rialto Bridge. It’s an ideal base for those looking to explore this beautiful city with ease, walking hand-in-hand along the famous canals. You can get to the bank of the Grand Canal in no time. 

After some time soaking in the scenes and taking a few snaps, walk the six minutes to Piazza San Marco and let yourself be inspired by the pre-renaissance architecture and romantic energy of the place. And on your way home, stop by Rialto Market to pick up some fresh produce to whip up a snack and try out some of the unusual yet wonderful fruits.

Stepping inside after a long day will feel like coming home. The cosmopolitan style has a big-city feel to it, while the Venetian floorings and comforting furniture bring back a sense of warmth. Sink into the cosy sofa and tuck into a snack while decompressing in front of the smart TV, before getting ready to go out for dinner. 

Venetian Bliss

If location is at the top of your list when searching for places to stay in Venice, then look no further than this apartment, footsteps from the Grand Canal and just a seven-minute walk from the iconic St Mark’s Square. Although the interiors are basic (and the kitchen and bathroom could do with a refresh), the place has everything you need to feel right at home. Your host even provides a pre-arrival grocery delivery service, so you can drop your bags and get stuck into some sightseeing as soon as you arrive.

Self Check-in / Check-out

On the top floor of a 16th-century palace right on the Grand Canal, this one-of-a-kind apartment enjoys bespoke furnishings from a range of designers, including the owner. While not the best option for families with young children due to the vintage and delicate furniture, it's a great choice for couples or solo travellers. The central location is the icing on the cake – the views over Santa Maria dei Frari are lovely. The train station is a short walk away and you're right next to a water taxi stop. Plus, there are bars and restaurants nearby.

The Venetian Flower

This apartment can be found in the chic and central San Marco area of Venice. The city’s main attractions, including the Rialto Bridge, Grand Canal, and St Mark’s Square, are within easy walking distance. We recommend resting your feet by seeing the sights from the water though – you’re in Venice after all. Rialto and Sant’Angelo vaporetto stops are nearby, so you can zip around the canals with ease. The home itself is traditional and fairly grand – you can look forward to Murano chandeliers and terrazzo flooring. With a building this old, you won’t find a lift, so it’s best to pack light. 

The Venetian Oasis

Find this elegant apartment directly on the famous Grand Canal, with gorgeous views of the atmospheric scenes from every window. Embrace the magic of this famous city from your ideally positioned base, spending lazy mornings watching the gondolas go by from your balcony, savouring a freshly brewed coffee. 

It's not just the canal view that makes this home special. Stepping inside you’ll find a super-sleek, contemporary apartment adopting a modern preference for minimalism. You might even be tempted by the well-equipped kitchen, even though there are so many fantastic restaurants around. The clean, polished finishes are wonderfully chic, while the bedrooms are comfortable and warm. 

Exploring Venice couldn’t be easier from here. Being on the Grand Canal, you have cultural and historical sights in every direction. Take a few steps to the Rialto Bridge and simply take time to soak in the romance of the city, before exploring the museums and galleries. And Saint Mark’s Square is just a ten-minute walk away, where you can marvel at the 9th-century basilica. 

Vista of Venezia

Rooftop Terrace

Relish the sweet scent of wisteria in the spring or enjoy the views over to the bell tower of the church of San Giacomo dell'Orio any time of year when you stay at this elegant apartment in Venice. Decorated in a classical Venetian style, it's the perfect bolt hole for a family, friends or business professionals.

Rialto Bridge is just over 800 metres away, while Piazza San Marco is just over 1 kilometre from this home. The Basilica S.Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is around five minutes on foot and contains many artworks from the Venetian Renaissance period, including Giovanni Bellini's "Madonna and Child with Saints" and the "Pesaro Madonna" by Titian. You'll also find various restaurants and cafes on your doorstep here.



Sweet Scented Wisteria

Take in the glimpses of the 14th-century Frari church and the local square from this home’s windows – great for watching the world go by. The accommodation is on the first and second floors, which is great as it maximises those vistas. We should also mention that the third bedroom has a single day bed, and the room is quite compact. Otherwise, this home is perfect for a family or group of friends looking to explore Venice. Location-wise, you’re a short stroll from the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Grand Canal is within walking distance as well.

Bellissimo at the Frari

This canalside apartment takes up the entire top floor of a 16th-century Gothic palazzo. It’s an elegant space with chandeliers and antique furniture, but it’s also a comfortable home-from-home. The location is undeniably the star of the show, just a short stroll from the Rialto Bridge and the crowds of St Mark’s Square, and boasting views over the Rio di San Luca canal. When you want to explore more of the city, it’s a quick walk to the Rialto and Sant’Angelo vaporetto stops.

In a grand Venetian palazzo, this amazing home is not the kind of place that you come across every day. Relax with a glass of Prosecco on the altana, a typical Venetian rooftop terrace – we love the breathtaking 360-degree views of the city.

Inside, with its ornate furniture, beautiful paintings and baroque atmosphere, you can imagine hosting a masquerade within its walls. It encapsulates the beauty and richness of this once-mighty empire. This home has probably one of the comfiest sofas – it's made of down and feather, so it's very soft, and you'll sink right into it – we felt like Lord Byron lounging here.

The location is as splendid as this apartment – historic Piazza San Marco and Accademia Bridge are just over a five-minute stroll. Opera lovers will be over the moon to learn that Teatro La Fenice is a mere three-minute saunter. Your lovely hosts can arrange cultural guides and boat excursions to ensure you get the most out of your time in this stunning city.


Masque Ball

This understated yet elegant apartment with a contemporary finish enjoys a wonderful location just moments away from the Grand Canal itself and close to numerous shops, wine bars, and local eateries – making it a great choice for a family holiday, a friends' getaway, or a romantic escape. It offers great views of the canal, particularly from the bedroom, so you can look forward to waking up, opening up the windows, and taking in the vista as well as the atmosphere. The iconic St Mark’s Square is reachable in ten minutes on foot, while the Vaporetto stops within walking distance provide the opportunity to explore the rest of the city using traditional transport with ease.

Venetian Red

This charming apartment sits on the banks of one of Venice’s picturesque canals, with a view of the turquoise waterways across to the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari – an ancient church with the works of Titian inside. As well as postcard-perfect canal views from inside this apartment, the major sights of Venice are an easy walk away with Piazza San Marco a fifteen-minute stroll and the Rialto Bridge ten minutes on foot.

After a day exploring the busy streets and waterways of Venice, this apartment is the perfect spot to retire to. The soothing blues, greys and teals are reminiscent of the canal system just outside your window and wooden floors add a touch of class. The full kitchen has everything you need if you’re not too busy exploring the endless restaurants on your doorstep and breakfasting on the plush velvet chairs is a delight with the windows thrown open and the sounds of the gondoliers drifting in. 

Accordion Song

This handsome apartment in Venice is the perfect reflection of the city surrounding it. Elegant and traditional, just a short stroll away from many of the most famous attractions, it's a wonderful place to begin your break in the Floating City. 

Step inside, and you'll fall in love with the lavish collection of furniture, high ceilings, and rustic beams. The kitchen area, with its duck egg blue cabinets and wooden floors, is great for whipping up some pasta and salad to enjoy with a glass of Chianti. And, when it's time for bed, the luxurious beds complete with intricate gilded headboards are waiting for you – you're guaranteed a fabulous night's sleep here. 

The Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, one of the most remarkable churches in all of Venice, is only a five-minute walk away. Cross the Grand Canal, and you will find a selection of wonderful galleries, including the Palazzo Malipiero and the Museo Fortuny. And, if you want to explore the city by boat, you can hop on the Vaporetto – the San Silvestro stop is a three-minute walk away. 

Venetian Mask

Garden

Courtyard

This apartment is exactly what you want for a Venetian getaway. Step into the sixteenth century building, with its faded red brick walls and dark wooden beams lining the ceiling, and you’ll feel transported to another era. The apartment has been restored in traditional Venetian style, with hand painted antique furniture, ornate tiled floors, and elegant pillared archways that allow one room to flow to the next. Outside there is a beautiful jasmine scented garden surrounded by ancient walls, part of which is private and just for you. 

Santa Croce is a central neighbourhood that still retains an authentically Venetian feel. It is not swarmed by tourists, but the top sites are still easily reachable. Stroll fifteen minutes to the Rialto Bridge, or peruse the international masterworks housed in the Baroque marble palace of the Ca' Pesaro gallery. You are a few minutes’ walk from the Riva de Biasio vaporetto stop, which takes you down the Grand Canal. After a day of exploring the city, head for wine and cicchetti at an ancient Venetian tavern on the waterfront, and then come home and relax with a book in the serenity of your garden, as the sun sets over the floating city.

Jasmine Garden

Smart TV

In a gorgeous old palace, this apartment in the heart of Venice is all opulence and splendour. The classic Venetian building was built by the Longhena architecture school in the 17th century and the spiral staircases and columned hallways feel like they’ve been frozen in time. Only in Venice do you get a building that boasts its own, private water door, should you wish to arrive by gondola.

The apartment itself is all frescoed ceilings and shining marble floors. Hand-painted dressers and antique furniture matches the historic surroundings and high ceilings add a sense of opulence. In the master bedroom, a plush tufted headboard feels palatial beneath a painted medieval motif on the wall and the circular fresco on the ceilings could belong in a museum. 

In terms of location, you’re across the canal from Santa Lucia Train Station and within easy walking distance of Venice’s main sights. It’s a five-minute walk to Basilica S.Maria Gloriosa dei Frari where you can find the works of Titian inside and a further ten minutes takes you to Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal. Of course, you can always flag down a gondolier or grab a water taxi from the building’s water door. 

Venetian Palace

There's a lot to love about this dreamy apartment in the heart of Venice. With plenty of character, an excellent location, and a wonderful outdoor space, it's the perfect place to unwind between your adventures in the Floating City. 

The flat is part of a building dating back to the 16th century, and a lot of its historic charm remains. The antique furniture and wooden beams will make you feel right at home, and the serene bedrooms will help you have a great night's sleep. However, the best bit has to be the garden – a space like this is such a treat in the city centre, This leafy sanctuary is the perfect place to sip your morning espresso or relax with a glass of prosecco at the end of a busy day exploring.

From here, you can walk to the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in around five minutes – it's one of Venice's most renowned churches. You can also hop on a water bus at the nearby vaporetto stop, San Toma, to see the city from the canals. And, you can walk over to the famous St Mark's Square and the neighbouring Doge's Palace in around twenty-five minutes. 

Giardino Nascosto

This traditional apartment sits peacefully in the historic streets of Santa Croce, providing a refreshingly simple space to relax and savour the timeless pleasures of Venetian living. 

From quiet mornings sipping coffee in the private courtyard to afternoon naps in the air-conditioned bedroom and aperitifs shared as the sunsets, this is the kind of space that perfectly adapts to suit the mood of the moment. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find it’s just a short stroll to Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio, while the majestic Rialto Bridge is a ten-minute walk away. 

Embrace beautiful views, leisurely canal side walks, gondola rides and the vibrant buzz of local bars and restaurants. And for those evenings when you feel like dining at home, make a stop at the local supermarket and create your own Italian-inspired feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Both the courtyard and the dining room provide the perfect spot for intimate candlelit meals. 

Rose of the Water

With a lovely central location in the Venetian neighbourhood of San Polo, this charming apartment which is flooded with natural light boasts a rooftop terrace with panoramic views over this beautiful, historic city. We love the simple, elegant interiors – particularly how they flow into one another to create a laid-back and sociable environment – and can just imagine spending a leisurely morning wafting from the well-equipped kitchen out to the terrace to soak up the sun with a cup of coffee and a book in hand. Step outside and you will find yourself right by the iconic Grand Canal and the lively San Marco district, which is home to a bevy of bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops to choose from.

Notes of Freesia

This lovely flat situated in beautiful Venice awaits you for a comfortable getaway to the city. This Venetian building holds charming decor with subtle antique-styled touches, as well as a view of the famous Basilica dei Frari and the canal. Enjoy a cup of coffee as you watch the gondolas pass by below, allowing you to simply observe the locale as you unwind or tuck into a hearty homecooked meal at the dining table by the large window. 

If you're fancying a light bite, the breakfast bar is a great spot to eat with your loved ones with a glass of wine. Snuggle up on the sofa to watch a movie on TV or put your feet up as you delve into a brand new book – the window in the living space gives ample natural daylight.

Head out for a short walk to get closer to the beautiful Basilica dei Frari, followed by an afternoon wandering the charming streets of Venice. You'll find plenty of relaxing cafes that serve up tasty baked goods, washed down with freshly brewed coffee, as well as delicious restaurants and sumptuous bars. 

Chocolate Pastel

Incredible canal views and a sophisticated interior combine in this seventeenth-century building to create a luxury pad you'll relish returning to. We love the exposed brickwork and wooden beams above, and the lighting helps create a romantic atmosphere. The bed can also be split in two, making it perfect for two friends looking to explore too. You can grab fresh ingredients at the nearby Rialto Market to impress your companion in the large kitchen, and there is an array of restaurants practically at your doorstep.

As Boats Go By

Step-Free Access

On the border between Santa Croce and San Polo, this stylish apartment offers the ultimate Venice experience. Every window offers views of the canal, and the home can be easily reached via water taxi, making it a convenient option for exploring the city. The interiors are colourful and contemporary, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen if you prefer to eat at home. The highlight here, however, is the little wooden terrace. Directly on the water, it’s a great spot for a couple to spend their evenings. 

The Colourful Canal

Ideally located in Venice’s Santa Croce neighbourhood, this contemporary gem is within easy walking distance of the city’s historic hotspots, cultural institutions and canals. You’ll need to climb some stairs to reach this first-floor apartment, but once inside you’ll be welcomed in by sleek designs and original beams. The space is practical, with plenty of room for a couple or solo traveller. Though it could be a little brighter, we love the modern kitchen for whipping up negronis and pasta at home. That said, you’ll have your pick of Venice’s authentic eateries on your doorstep.

Venetian Modernism

Mosquito Net

Just a ten-minute walk from Rialto Bridge, this apartment is a great base for those looking to discover the delights of Venice. From here, days can be spent strolling the cobbled streets and ticking off all the major sights. You can explore on foot or take a gondola ride through the city, plus there’s an abundance of restaurants and bars right on the doorstep. The home lacks a proper living area, so we recommend it for those who want to drop off their bags and get out exploring right away. It's also worth noting that the double sofa bed sleeps up to two guests, although space is limited so we suggest a maximum of three guests.

The Venice View

Escape the crowds in Venice and stay in your own private museum. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a buzzing central neighbourhood only minutes from Piazza San Marco, this quiet apartment boasts views from a rooftop terrace facing an aqua canal. Every piece of furniture in this opulent apartment is a work of art, with beautiful antique mirrors, marble floors, and dressers. This includes the magnificent 16th-century four-poster beds in each bedroom, straight from your host’s family castle in Tuscany. Settle in and live like historical royalty – except with the added luxury of modern comforts. When you return home from a day of wandering Venice's winding streets, enjoy a coffee out on the roof terrace and admire the city's famous waterways from above – although the steps are steep, particularly up to the roof, the view is well worth it.

Notte al Museo

Early / Late Check-Out Available

This fabulous first-floor apartment in central Venice boasts a combination of authentic architectural features, and inimitable Italian interiors along with elements of modern design. Comprising an open plan kitchen, dining and living room – think chandeliers, wooden floors and beamed ceilings – as well as two beautiful bedrooms, this historic home is perfect for a couple of couples or small family seeking to explore this unique city, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’.  

You’ll love waking up in the majestic master bedroom and flinging open the wooden shutters for views of canal and canal boats before taking your morning coffee back to bed. Prepare firm family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen and dine together beside the open windows. As the light fades, draw the rich red curtains, light some candles and chill out on the gorgeous green easy chair in the atmospheric living room.  

If you fancy getting out and about, your home’s location on the Campo Santa Fosca in the charming Cannaregio district means you’re within walking distance of an embarrassment of cultural and architectural riches. Why not walk across the ravishing Rialto or wander about the magnificent Piazza San Marco? Alternatively, foodies will be delighted to find that the nearby Fondamenta della Misericordia and Riva del Ormesini offer an excellent choice of taverns and wine bars come lunch, dinner or digestif time.


Oak & Ruby

This unique and wonderfully characterful apartment is filled with traditional Venetian charm and a certain effortless style, whilst also offering a range of handy amenities and all the mod-cons you could need for a memorable, comfortable stay in this iconic, inimitable city. We especially love the shining tile floors and rustic exposed wooden beams that give this home a sense of history and place. On the other hand, the sleek modern kitchen and high-spec bathrooms bring the space right into the 21st century. Warm, cosy, and undeniably beautiful, we think this home is a real find – and the perfect starting point for your own Venetian voyage. 

Within easy reach of this typically Venetian Palazzo, you will find yourself at the famous St. Mark's Square, as well as amongst the fantastic restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping opportunities that bring the city to life. Take a walk over the historic Rialto Bridge, or hop aboard a Vaporetto that will take you along the winding canals that make Venice one of the most special places on earth. 

San Marco Style

Private Dryer

Located in a historic building in the heart of Cannaregio, this apartment is just steps from the Church of Santa Maria della Maddalena. With its market and iconic views of the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge is also a short stroll away. Nearby, the Fondamenta della Misericordia district is packed with traditional restaurants and the San Marcuola vaporetto stop is easily reached on foot. This home’s building also features convenient private water access from the Rio dei Servi, ideal for those arriving by boat or wishing to explore Venice's iconic waterways. The apartment itself is elegant and has character features which blend seamlessly with the luxurious finishes. This home has everything you need for a comfortable stay in this beautiful city.

Watercolour Lagoon

Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay.  


Blue Velvet Dreams

Balcony / Patio

This art-filled home is just as impressive as its location on the Zattere waterfront. Moments from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Gallerie dell'Accademia as well as a wonderful selection of restaurants, this is the perfect setting for an idyllic Italian stay. You’ll also have access to a serene private courtyard – a rare treat in this location. Inside, there's something to admire in every corner thanks to the unique collection of art and furnishings. There’s also a custom-built library, a wine cellar and an independent studio (with its own entrance) on the ground floor – perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy. 

A Venetian Moon

This Venetian home has a gem of a location in the Arsenal district of Venice, which houses the Naval History Museum. It’s just a five-minute walk to the Biennale Gardens, an area created by Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century, while St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge are just fifteen minutes on foot. If you prefer to use the water bus, there’s a Vaporetto stop located a few steps away from the apartment, so you can easily reach Piazzale Roma or Murano Island.

Inside this abode, the warm tones from the wood beams contrast nicely with the whitewashed walls. There are three sofas, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax. If you don’t fancy eating out, whip up a risotto al nero di sepia in the modern kitchenette. Or simply get some rest on the comfy beds after a busy day exploring all that this beguiling city has to offer.

Art, Theatre & Music

Those looking for a quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds will find this apartment near the Arsenal of Venice a comfortable base from which to explore the city. Though the decor is functional and the touristic art on the walls a little uninspiring, the two bedrooms are minimalist and uncluttered and the pair of bathrooms will come in handy for morning routines ahead of a busy day of sightseeing. Speaking of which, the Biennale Gardens are a five-minute walk away and a fifteen-minute stroll will bring you to St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge. Alternatively, hop on a water bus from the nearby vaporetto stop to explore the wider city, Piazzale Roma and Murano Island. 


Chiara

DVD Player

Throws

This elegant home is the ideal bolthole for those visiting Venice. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood – Campo Santo Stefano – close to every sight Venice has to offer, but away from the crowds. 

The apartment is a grand family home, with traditional touches like the wood-beamed ceilings. It’s on the fourth floor, and from the windows you can see a pretty skyscape of Venetian rooftops all the way to the Grand Canal. Even more amazingly for Venice, this building has an elevator so those four floors are no trouble at all. 

Take your morning coffee on the balcony, then head out to explore the city. The Vaporetto stop at Santa Maria del Giglio is five minutes from the apartment, so it’s easy to get out on the lagoon. The glorious views from Ponte dell’Accademia can be found just five minutes away, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute stroll. Rialto Bridge is nine minutes from the apartment – stroll across it with a gelato for a cheeky touristy moment. 

Calle XXII Marzo, an upmarket avenue of high-end boutiques, is just seven minutes from the apartment. Whether you’re flashing the cash or window shopping, it’s worth a wander. 

However you spend your time in Venice, you’ll be glad to be doing so here. This apartment is comfortable and bright, and in an unbeatable location. 


A Taste Of Venice

Give loft-style living a whirl at this high-style Venice apartment set in the characterful design district. Perched next to the leafy gardens of the Biennal and just a twenty-minute passeggiata along the Riva degli Schiavoni to St. Mark's Square, the location is spot on. And when it's time to say adieu, getting to the airport is a breeze, with the waterbus just a two-minute stroll from your door.

Back home, while the old bones of this characterful home remain with its lofty roof gables and exposed stonework, everywhere else has been expertly reimagined to create a sleek city bolthole. We're into the muted monochrome palette and oh-so-Italian terrazzo floors of the main bedroom suite with a dressing room. And tucked away in the eaves up a flight of stairs, there are two cosy single-bedroom nooks – perfect for teenagers or friends sharing. While back downstairs in the living space, there's everything you could need to rustle up a light bite to eat in the smart, newly-refurbished kitchen. Though with charming tavernas and wine bars just a hop, skip, and a jump away, we wouldn't blame you for eating out each night instead.  

A Thousand Bridges

Sound System

Brimming with Venetian charm, this restored, high-beamed apartment is an idyllic place to call home during a trip to Venice. Located right in the heart of the city, moments from the Grand Canal, you can unwind sumptuously in between your cultural endeavours. 

Step inside, and you'll find a stunning, characterful space with traditional architecture and a contemporary design aesthetic. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prepare your favourite Italian specialities -  including a Bialetti moka pot for a superior caffeinated experience in the mornings. In the evenings, enjoy culinary feasts at the sleek dining table, accompanied by a cold glass of Lison and the hum of the city just outside your window. When it's time to unwind, climb the stunning suspended staircase up to your slice of calm and sink into the sheets ready to explore the city another day. 

It's easy to tick off your sightseeing list from here, as many of the city's most iconic attractions are close by. Walk to Domenico Rossi’s 11th-Century San Stae in just six minutes, before wandering to Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art – it's just two minutes from there. And, if you want to explore the city via water taxi, then hop on a boat at the San Stae stop - our favourite way to see Venice. 

High Beam

Only moments away from Piazza San Marco and Rialto Bridge, this Venetian home connects you to the beautiful city of Venice, and you’ll soon notice the many wonders right on your doorstep. Stroll through the community garden, Giardini Reali, or grab a takeaway coffee before embarking on a grand tour of the most beautiful churches – including Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Formosa, Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, and San Francesco della Vigna.

Visit the museums and get a taste of Venice at the local restaurants before returning home for well-deserved rest. We recommend sprawling out on the sofa to read or work on a puzzle around the dining table – though our absolute favourite pastime would be socialising on the altana, a typical Venetian wooden terrace. 

Enjoy drinks as you admire the skyline at sunset and stay there long after the stars have lit up the night sky.

Santa Emilia

Located in majestic Venice, renowned for its winding canals and beautiful architecture, this sleek apartment welcomes you to experience the floating city in style. Recently designed, you’ll immediately notice the high-end touch that’s been given to this modern space – from the teal-coloured armchair to the marble flooring, chic chandeliers and pristine white colour palette. 

It's also wonderfully bright and open, thanks to the pretty Venetian windows and double-height ceilings. Cosy up in your dreamy night-themed bedroom up on the mezzanine level, or rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal in the state-of-the-art kitchen. But the biggest draw is, of course, having your private outside space to relax and drink Italian wine. Complete, with a covered dining table, you'll spend early evenings enjoying an aperitivo out here with friends and family.

While you could spend the entire day basking in the plush atmosphere of this bright pad, get out and explore the sights of Venice. Locally, you're surrounded by wine bars and taverns, while the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art and the famous Ghetto Ebraico are just a short walk from your door.
